Statics of Rigid Bodies Quiz 1 - Prelims
Name: hg Date: .
Course/Section: .
Direction: Solve each of the following problems by providing a complete and well-structured solution. Partial
credit will be awarded for the correct solution even if the final answer is incorrect. Clearly present your final
answer in the space provided below each question, and ensure that it is rounded to three decimal places.
1. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant
force FR = F1 + F2 + F3 of the three forces by first finding
the resultant F’ = F2 + F3 and then finding FR = F1 + F’
(10pts)
Ans: .
, 2. If the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the
bracket is to be 450N directed along the positive u-axis
determine the magnitude of F1 and is direction ϕ.
